Cloudless Horizons Counselling
alongside you in your journey of discovery and change
Hello and welcome to my website.
Counselling and Psychotherapy in Betchworth
My name is Sharon and I am an accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) with over twenty years' experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I offer a warm, welcoming and authentic approach to therapy, where you will feel heard, supported and understood.
My therapeutic approach is integrative. I work in person from my private practice in Betchworth, near Dorking, as well as by telephone or online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
I provide both short-term and long-term therapy for adults, young people aged 13–17, couples and families. In addition to my counselling and psychotherapy work, I also provide clinical supervision for experienced and trainee practitioners.

How can counselling help you?
A supportive and collaborative approach to therapy
Whatever brings you to therapy for the first time, it can feel daunting and overwhelming and takes a lot of courage. That’s why I believe that at the heart of any therapy is the relationship between the counsellor and the client. I aim to build a trusting, collaborative relationship with you in which you will feel valued and respected in a calm, caring environment.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, primarily drawing on psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), recognising that every person’s experiences are unique and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Together we will explore what experiences mean for you and reflect on your thoughts and feelings. Sometimes the work will be challenging, but I will be alongside you in your journey of discovery. I will gently encourage you to look at things from a different perspective, enabling you to gain new insights, greater self-awareness, a deeper understanding of yourself, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

For counsellors and therapists
Clinical supervision
In addition to counselling, I have been a clinical supervisor since 2018 (Level 6 Certificate in Counselling Supervision OCN London), providing supervision from my practice in Betchworth, near Dorking, for practitioners who are experienced or in training, working with adults, couples, families and young people. I aim to create a space where supervisees feel supported and appropriately challenged, enabling them to develop their confidence, deepen their reflective practice and sustain themselves in their professional work.
Supervision is available at £60 per hour, with a sliding scale offered for student counsellors and newly qualified practitioners establishing their own practice.
For those who prefer, supervision can also be arranged twice monthly for 45 minutes, in line with BACP requirements of 1.5 hours of supervision per month.
Free initial consultation
Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the therapy process. I therefore offer a free initial 20-minute consultation, by telephone or online via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions and share what has brought you to therapy.
If you feel I am the right counsellor for you, we will arrange ongoing weekly or fortnoightly sessions.
